London City 0-1 Man City

And there it is. The longer it went on, the more London City Lionesses missed their chances, you feared this would happen.
That's the difference. Khadija Shaw is world-class.

That's the difference.
London City have had all these opportunities and not been able to take them. It falls to Khadija Shaw and she takes it.
She rounds the goalkeeper and takes the time before she shoots, sees where the space is and finds the goal.
A brilliant goal from Shaw.

And who else?! Khadija Shaw is played through by Lauren Hemp and she rounds Mary Earps before slamming the ball into the roof of the net.
The Shaw-Hemp combo strikes again!
London City 0-0 Man City
Alexia Putellas feeds in Isobel Goodwin and her strike almost makes it through the legs of Ayaka Yamashita before the Manchester City goalkeeper recovers and makes the save.

Again, how does it not go in?!
The opportunity, she's just five yards out and the header is just slightly behind her.
Yet another chance for London City.

London City 0-0 Man City
The ball is nodded back across the face of goal and Grace Geyoro dives at it, trying to prod a header into the back of the net.
It's an awkward height and angle, and Geyora can't get enough power on it to beat Ayaka Yamashita.
Arsenal 0-1 Aston Villa
Ooof! So close! Great, zippy passes from Arsenal and Alessia Russo almost plays in Caitlin Foord, but Foord can't get a toe onto the ball, sliding forward, and Russo's pass skids straight to the Villa keeper.

London City 0-0 Man City
Yui Hasegawa looks tiny next to Isobel Goodwin, but she somehow manages to hold off the London City Lionesses striker and stop her from getting a shot away.
Arsenal 0-1 Aston Villa
Well it's be all Arsenal, as you'd expect, since the restart. The Gunners win a corner after Villa clear a cross into the box.
Brighton v Crystal Palace (14:00 GMT)

London City 0-0 Man City
We're back under way at Hayes Lane, too.
Arsenal 0-1 Aston Villa
Off we go again. Will Aston Villa hold on to a big, big win?
HT: London City 0-0 Man City
London City Lionesses have had 12 shots, 26 touches in the box and an xG of 1.16 - but still no goals to show for it.
Remarkably, Ayaka Yamashita has only had to make one save for Manchester City.

That Mary Earps save was huge. You just thought it was going to be a goal.
We know she's got the ability to do that. The big character and the way she communicates with the back line is so important for games like today.

I don't see what's spectacular about this London City side apart from the fact they have spent big to try and buy trophies.

I'd like London City a bit more if they dropped the "Lionesses" bit .... Everyone knows it's belongs solely to England. And it sounds odd anyhow. What next? .... West Ham Wildebeest?

We know the pressure Renee Slegers is under. This would be huge.
They certainly shouldn't be in the position they're in.
